Timber-frame houses are at once stylish, eco-friendly and economical. Build times are short. The timber-frame house (TFH) guarantees you greater comfort and reduced energy bills.
Timber-frame houses offer superior living comfort thanks to their very good thermal insulation and airtightness.
The 10 advantages
1. A house that reflects you
Timber framing allows wide architectural expression in both shape and appearance: all exterior finishes are possible.
2. Enhanced insulation
The thickness of the walls and the very nature of wood provide remarkable thermal insulation.
3. Reduced energy bills
A direct consequence of the enhanced insulation, your energy consumption drops significantly.
4. Shorter build times
The lightness and speed of assembly considerably shorten the work on site.
5. Robust, safe and renewable materials
Wood is a 100% renewable raw material, and our timber sections are 30% larger than the French DTU standard.
6. Excellent value for money
With faster construction and greater longevity, the TFH offers an excellent return on investment.
7. Excellent environmental record and living comfort
From production to assembly, wood uses far less energy than conventional materials.
8. Breathable materials and improved quality of life
Wood naturally regulates humidity and provides a healthier indoor atmosphere.
9. Fire resistance superior to conventional construction
Contrary to popular belief, timber houses are subject to the same fire regulations as conventional buildings, but they are far more fire-resistant. Wood does not collapse suddenly and keeps its load-bearing capacity longer than steel or concrete.
10. Lasting over time
Wood offers excellent resistance that extends the lifespan of buildings, as shown by half-timbered houses still standing after 2 or 3 centuries.
